Oh my goodness this totally fixed my problem and I have a GTI. Thank you so much for posting this!!!!❤

Thanks mate! Fixed my 2017 Passat R-Line wagon Alarm issue. Did the same as you and must’ve pressed it while opening the sunroof. Kept saying the tailgate was open when locking the vehicle and sent the siren and lights off as soon as it armed. Pressed the bloody rear light button and solved all my problems. Very helpful!

Thank you! As soon as you told me about the light being the cause, I undid the button and problem solved!

Great info and thanks for letting us all know 👍🏽

Thank you 🎉🎉❤❤

You are a superstar. You just remotely fixed my alarm problem. Thank you!

Saved my life top man

Thank you ... you saved me

Thank you.

My mom's '09 jetta didn't have that button. I just pressed all the light buttons and some radio buttons and something worked. Keyfob is working again and the alarm isn't going off anymore.

Ok my alram was offset because of a door not being shut right on a freeze last winter, So mine is randomly going off still, i need to know how to reset it for the drivers door. I have a 2002 VW JETTA Wagon GLS

Thanks for that

The previous owner installed LED lights that do not work, they go on and off sporadically - thanks!!!! P.S. Amarok 2013

OH MY GOD

Hello. can you help me how to turn on my alarm in my Tiguan SUV 4x4 2013 diesel 2 liter

Didn’t work 😢 but I tried still went off , only stop when I had to unplug the battery 😢 so there’s something else going wrong

Before you start ripping your car apart check the condition of your battery, I had this fault, so I got the best battery I could afford and problem solved

Hi.

Tech didn't want to know the problem because 99% of the time it's something stupid that the end user did and they don't want to embarrass them. But I also never take my car to the dealership or mechanic. You can't rely on other people to work on your own car.
